UNION coach Jean Paul Kalisa a.k.a Mourinho is keen to win this afternoon’s Group B tie against La Jeunesse to boost his club’s chances of playing in the play-offs.

The top two sides in Group A and B qualify to play in the play-offs where the top two eventually get promoted into the top division.

Union is currently four points adrift of group leaders La Jeunesse but a win today will put them right back in the contest with four games left.

"They (La Jeunesse) are a very difficult side to break down, but we are going to have a go at them and see if we can get a result,” Kalisa said of La Jeunesse, who were relegated from the top flight last season.

In other Group B matches, Interforce take on Espoir, UNR host ISAE, while Stella Maris travel to Muhanga.

In Group A, Nyanza will seek to maintain their four-point cushion at the top by defeating Pépinière; Kibuye also hope to consolidate second spot by beating Sorwathé.
